Question:
(a) Aircraft sometimes acquire small static charges. Suppose a supersonic jet has a 0.500-μC charge and flies due west at a speed of 660 m/s over the Earth's magnetic south pole (near Earth's geographic north pole), where the 8.00 × 10-5-T magnetic field points straight down. What are the direction and the magnitude of the magnetic force on the plane?
(b) Discuss whether the value obtained in part (a) implies this is a significant or negligible effect.
